2012-11-30T00:00:00-05:00http://www.onthemedia.org/2012/nov/30/argument-statutory-regulation-media/<p>In the wake of <em>News of the World</em> and other press scandals, <a href="http://www.levesoninquiry.org.uk/">Lord Justice Leveson</a> has called for a new statute-backed system to regulate the British media. To some, such a move would constitute a reversal of a proud free-press tradition dating back to the 17th century. But Minister of Parliament <a href="http://www.zahawi.com/">Nadhim Zahawi</a> tells Bob that the UK's self-policing press has been drinking at the "Last Chance Saloon" for too long.</p>
